Day shoots 67 despite water woes

Jason Day got off to a good start at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, even though the Aussie spent a little too much time in the Louisiana bayou during his opening round.

Day found the water with consecutive tee shots on Nos. 3 and 4, dropping three shots in the process, but he rebounded with a flurry of birdies to card a 67. At 5 under, he sits three shots off the early pace set by Boo Weekley.

Day opened with a birdie on No. 10 and added three more birdies in a four-hole stretch on Nos.
